Identify and write down your own personal reasons for engaging in a task. then monitor your progress towards your goal using a goal setting chart. Example, write down all your task for the day or week. Break it down to your top 10 or top 5, depending on the number of tasks you have at hand. Further break it down to your top most important. Let your less important tasks lie dormant on a 'maybe list' that you can check on again in some day or week. Focus on the most important task first. Focus on what you want to do, not what you want to avoid. Think about the productive reasons for doing a task. Set positive concrete, meaningful learning and achievement goals for yourself. You can delete or delegate from your to-do-list, those things that don't relate to your top 3 - 5 goals. Just say bye bye and let someone else handle it and don't look back. This is important for better time management because with limited time, it is important to do only things that matter most, but not every single task at hand. ___ ![avel-chuklanov-DUmFLtMeAbQ-unsplash.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/funmiblog/243BuL7TKCsnxvfkbFe8kxECKRJnKns8qdJpKmfnbDNERiqf2zYCSf3QfDQvPYc8FEKEx.jpg) Photo by Avel Chuklanov on Unsplash ___ I hope you guys found the article quite interesting, if you do, kindly like and comment below.
